Thanks for the info, John. I have the article, but most of my recent periodicals
were boxed away when we recently remodeled our house.

Sorry 'bout that. It's an inside joke with other list members since I own about
10,000 of her Pittsburgh prints as well as several hundred negatives.

A Washington, D.C. traction fan who used so-so equipment and postcard
composition to capture the people and neighborhoods served by the cars and
coaches. Not to everybody's taste, but somewhat refreshing to fans accustomed to
nothing but builder type shots in prestine settings. But as I noted taste is
subjective.
